Juliano – This Must Be … [TPL004]

French producer Juliano delivers the next EP, entitled “This Must Be…”, on his own imprint That Place Records. Strongly influenced by US house, ‘Panaugust’ is a real dance floor killer with its never ending synth. The more emotional ‘Anthem For A Friend’ is a real tribute, drawing inspiration from Chicago and Detroit such as ‘The Real Mess’ with its special Rhythm & Blues vibe. Finally, ‘Cupid Mess’ brings a touch of Japanese mood, evoking images of an early-morning rising sun thanks to the classic Juno6 sound.

Vercetti Technicolor & Antoni Maiovvi – Lost Apocalypse EP [VIVOD010]

Vercetti Technicolor and Antoni Maiovvi join the Vivod fold for this last release in their series of limited screen prints. Conveniently timed for Halloween the two horror artists who co run the impressive Giallo Disco imprint don their skills to Ali Renault’s label, giving us cover versions of some known film scores with an additional original track from each for good measure. The result is an impressive horror disco record all round.

Giusy Dej – Walking In The Night [GIUSY001]

DEJ, Giusy - Walking In The Night

When “Walking in the Night” by Giusy Dej was first discovered as an incomplete track on the rare ‘A Touch of Class’ compilation, many italo fans were really surprised when it was later found as a single. And that the b-side “Follow Me” was also great! Both tracks represent the perfect mix of dark italo-disco and minimal-synth elements with raw lo-fi production. Without a doubt one of the most cult and sought-after discoveries in recent years. Flemming Dalum and Hysteric on remix duties.
